Polycystic liver disease
Gene: RTEL1
Comment when marking as ready: As discussed in the GMS Gastrohepatology Specialist Test Group webex call 14th Jan 2019: The Specialist Test Group agreed that there is not enough evidence to rate this gene green. Therefore, this gene has been given an amber rating.Created: 12 Mar 2019, 11:28 a.m.
Comment when marking as ready: After discussion with Anna de Burca (Genomics England) and Bill Griffiths (Cambridge University Hospitals), it was decided that RTEL1 will remain as an amber gene.Created: 26 Nov 2018, 2:50 p.m.
This is confirmed to cause Dyskeratosis congenita on Gene2Phenotype. There are 3 people from 3 different families who have cirrhosis; however, most of these mutations are missense. Also, all 20 variants reported on OMIM have no liver phenotype. There is also liver cirrhosis phenotype that might be with ductal plate malformation. Therefore, promoted gene from red to amber.Created: 12 Nov 2018, 1:55 p.m.
